THE people of Manitowoc should con-
tinue to give countenance and support to
the movement in which the initial public
step was taken on Saturday last. Every
parent can see the advantage to his child
in taking part in study of that nature.
1t gives courage to speak in public while
furnishing matter for thought. The sue
cess of the movement depends upon the
part taken by the younger people.

A BILL has already been introduced to
repeal the tax on tobacco and to repeal
the import tax on sugar and tobacco. A
bounty of one and four-tenths cent per
pound shall be paid all producers of
sugar. Why should the bounty business
stop at sugar? Why not give farmers a
bounty for raising wheat? Wheat is just
as much a necessity as sugar or tobacco.

THE WILD BEAST IN MAN.

The two or three attempts to wreck pas
the Chatsworth disaster were undoubtedly a
direct consequence of that calamity. It is
difficult for one of healthy mind to under
stand the mental condition of a human being
who could deliberately arrange to bring sud-
den and horrible death to innocent fellow
creatures by throwing train off its track.
1t must be considered, however, that persons
capable of such acts are of vicious natures
and semi-developed intelligence They may
to all appearances be sufficiently enlightened
to comprehend the Nervousness of such crime,
and in sense they do understand it, but it is
merely as an intellectual proposition that they
assent to such characterization of the of
Tense. They do not feel its truth; their SYM
pathies and sensibilities are not moved in the
slightest degree by thought of the frightful
results. On the contrary, description of the
inevitable horrors of such wreck stirs the
half-savage blood and undeveloped natures
They know that to cause such disaster is a
crime but they have tenderness of heart
that tells of its enormity. They read the
details of Chatsworth calamity, and are not
content until they have made an effort to re-
produce it for their own insane qualification.
There can be no better explanation of such
attempts than this since in many instances
the purpose is obviously not robbery. 1t is
humiliating to the better classes of mankind
to admit that members of the race will
commit wholesale murder for the sake of
feasting on horrors, but it will have to be ac-
knowledged that however completely the
physical man may have outgrown his simian
ancestry the mental features are of less uni
form development, and partake of the wild
beast nature to an alarming degree Civiliza-
ton serves as a veneering, but when provca-
ton comes this frail crust is broken and the
brute prevails.

THE RByIyALIsr AND THE COW.

The unfortunate case, noted in the Jour
nails dispatches day or two ago, of the Ten
nessee preacher who stole cow and sold it
in order to defray the expenses of his revival,
raises nice question in religious ethics.
Fifteen converts were secured, it
seems, before the sheriff entered upon the
scene with warrant for arrest, and half
dozen sinners the mourners' bench
at that inauspicious moment Now, of course,
as a general proposition, it is not advisable to
do evil that good may come, and a majority
Of people will make haste to say that it is
ting ones self in an evangelist's place, how
ever, may not something be said in support Of
the opposite view7 In this instance good I'M
questionably did result from the unholy en-
terprise of the revivalist Fifteen brands
were enatched from the burning, fifteen in
iquitous souls were drawn back from the
brink of everlasting destruction that might
have gone on to their doom had
the preacher failed to realize on his
l-gotten COW. 1t will hardly be maintained
that the sinners were not properly saved and
were not genuine converts because the
shepherd who pointed out to them the strait
and narrow path had himself become side
tracked and could not head the procession.
To urge that because saint had not led them
to the celestial doors they could not enter in,
Is on the same level of reasoning that would

rause they must use combination obtained
from the wicked cashier, or that would for

One of the growing nuisances and immorali-
ties of the day is the public exhibition of inde-
cent pictures cigarette advertisements. These
offensive placards conspicuousy displayed
in of shop windows and other public
places. They are object lessons of vice intended
to entrap the young. A still worse form of the
evil and one that is uDspeakably vicious, is the
practice prevalent among some dealers of put
ting an obscene picture In every package of Gig
arettes or tobacco sold. This business should
be broken up. If there is no law ordinance
prohibiting the exhibition and sale of vulgar and
licentious pictures under the guise and pretense
of advertisements, let such law be passed and
enforced. There enough ways of polluting
the morals of the young nowadays without in
venting new ones.

make life II this metropolis uncomfortable
during so many days Of the year, and
many people, If they had their choice,
would doubtless prefer a good half
hours thunderstorm TO six or eight hours
Of shiny fog bath. But, without going
into any detailed scientific arguments on
this subject, we must state thai, in our
opinion, the evidence in this case is not
sufficient to procure a conviction. 1t is
a matter OF common knowledge that
thunder storms are very local events;
the weather is not unfrequently fine and
bright ten miles away from where a
severe storm is raging. If, then, smoke
causes thunder storms, We should ex-
pect to fad them most frequent and
most severe in these places where smoke
is most abundant. But the very same
statistics 60 on to show that the proper
ton Of houses struck by lightning in
country places to those so injured in
towns is nearly as two to enc. And,
again, If smoke is a good preliminary
condition to getting up a storm, there
ought certainly to be plenty Of thunder
IN our own black country, but We are
not aware that this district Is especially
noted for its storms.

AnOIli church .

san Francisco Chronicle.
What may be called the cradle Of the
American Episcopal church is Christ
church, Philadelphia. 1t is still another
instance of kingly interest. Charles II
put into the grant to William Penn a
provision about a church ediice, and the
building in which so many historic
scenes haYe since been enacted was the
outcome. Christ church stands on the
west side of Second street, between Market
and Arch street, in Philadelphia. It was
built OF bricks brought from England,
and long before the separation from the
mother country it was the religious
home Of the leading men OF the new
world. Benjamin Franklin and num-
Der Of other nOtables were members OF
its communion. The church is now il
use, but it shows its two centuries of ex-
istence. The old square pews have been
removed and the chancel window, whiel
faces toward the street, has been re
placed by memorial to Bishop White,
but the stone floor, ths graves which
mark every part Of it, the bible and com
munion service presented by Queen
Anne, the former Of which has the dona-
tors autograph on the title-page, the
chimes, which came originally from Eng
land and which were removed from the
tower during the revolution to prevent
/ their falling again into British hands
all these carry the visitor Of o-day back
into reveries Of the past, and remind him
strongly Of the fanes Of provincial Eng
land. From its historic associations
Christ church is always used for the
opening sessions Of all Episcopal con
ventiOns that meet in this city, of which
there are not a few.
